[StoryOfMyLife]

Ooh, I like this thread...hmm, let me think then...

No particular order, just in which I think of them

1) Samwise Gamgee [I'm a huge LOTR fan, seriously...Sam is my favoritest hobbit]
2) Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy [Mmm...Pride and Prejudice..he was delish]
3) Elizabeth Bennet [of course, who is Darcy without her? ]
4) Chiyo/Sayuri [Memoirs of a Geisha -- the book was based on facts learned by a Geisha who lead a similar life, but Sayuri was fictional..]
5) Vincent Valentine [I am a video game/ Final Fantasy fanatic...Vincent= ]
6) Sun WuKong [aka The Monkey King from Journey to the West he's fantastic]
7) George Weasley [Not Fred. It has to be George...]
8) Aslan [Technically he isn't a Lion...he's supposed to be the physical representation of a 'higher power', 'god' so to speak.. I'm not religious, but I believe in the compassion of spirituality and the father figure he offers to the children throughout the Narnia books]
9) Angel Dumot Schunard [RENT anybody? ]
10) Elphaba [Wicked...such a freaking GREAT story...epic]

 

[Tallulah]

Hmmm. This is tough. No particular order, and probably not definitive.

Blanche DuBois, A Streetcar Named Desire
Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes
Mrs. Oleson, Little House on the Prairie
Margo Channing, All About Eve
Martha Logan, Season Five of 24
Charles Logan, ditto
Liz Lemon, 30 Rock
3-way tie for Jack/Kenneth/Tracy, 30 Rock
Hedda Gabler, Hedda Gabler (yeah, I like the unsympathetic characters)
Julia Sugarbaker, Designing Women

And pretty much everyone on the old Mary Tyler Moore Show.

 

[bluebell]

The first ten that came to mind, in no particular order.

Carrot - Terry Pratchett's Nightwatchmen series
Vimes - Terry Pratchett's Nightwatchmen series
Ender - Ender's Game
Calvin - Calvin & Hobbes
Paul Atreides - Dune
Jack Sparrow - Pirates of the Carribean
Lister - Red Dwarf
Dogbert - Dilbert
Killashandra Ree - The Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffrey
Qui-Gon Jinn - Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace

It's a bit of an eclectic mix, heh, although almost entirely dominated by sci-fi/fantasy.

 

[GorillaGorilla]

Batman
Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood)
The Joker
Rorschach (Watchmen)
Mugen (Samurai Champloo)
Solid Snake (MGS2 Snake, not others)

P.S. And, yay! this is my 100th post (or rather, my 100th instance here of muttering and talking nonsense to myself)...

 

[nonsequitur]

So... many... options.

Crap. Let me try to narrow it down. In no particular order,
1) Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (INFJ)
2) Charles Wallace from Madeleine L'engle's Time Quartet. (INFJ)
3) DEATH from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. (INTJ)
4) Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. (ENTJ)
5) Starbuck from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. (ISTP)
6) Batman. My favourite comic book hero ever. (no idea)
7) Kitty Pryde, X-Men. I love her to death (in AXM and beyond). (ENFJ)
8) Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, Angel the Series. Dark Wesley = awesome. (INTJ)
9) Captain Malcolm Reynolds, Firefly/Serenity. His amoral but ethical awesomeness knows no bounds. (xNTP)
10) Elinor Dashwood, from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. (ISFJ)

I find it difficult to love/empathise with a fictional person from a movie. It just doesn't have the time/scope to explore a person's psyche completely. That's why I didn't include any characters from movies. Also, I find it interesting that it's 5F:5M.

Edited to try to type them.

Mad Max
Blondie from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Spike from Cowboy Bebop

INPO

Victor Ward (Glamorama)
Dr Zhivago
Jherek Carnelian (The Dancers At the End of Time)
Mr Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)

[Ivy]

These are the first ten that come to mind. I have no assurance that they are, in fact, the top ten.

Lew's Carroll's Alice
Yossarian (Catch 22)
Philip J. Fry (Futurama)
Donnie Darko
Ender Wiggin (Ender's Game)
Nell (The Diamond Age)
Starbuck (Battlestar Galactica)
Darl Bundren (As I Lay Dying) (It was difficult to decide between Darl and Vardaman, but I could more easily identify with Darl)
Frankenstein's monster
John Locke (Lost)

This was a little over a year ago. I've since become disillusioned with John Locke on Lost. He's banished from my top ten and replaced with Liz Lemon.

It's be interesting to see the lovechild of Philip J Fry and Nell.

Nastasya Filliponova from Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Idiot." Actually, everyone from that novel. They were all so eccentric, but I found her the most intriguing.
